- Top 10 Places in Wales to Visit.
The smallest of mainland Britain's component countries, Wales offers many wonderful reasons to visit. The south includes cosmopolitan Cardiff, famous for its magnificent castle and a good base from which to begin exploring the rest of the country.
With its splendid shopping arcades and many well-reserved historic buildings, it's a city with plenty of places to visit and things to do. Wales shares a great deal of history with the rest of Great Britain, but the rugged beauty of its landscapes and the open nature of its inhabitants make it a distinctly unique travel destination.
For first-time visitors, the most obvious difference between Wales and the other lands in the United Kingdom is the tongue-twisting Welsh language. While everyone speaks English, part of the fun of visiting Wales is learning a few phrases of one of the oldest languages in Europe.
Number 10. Aberystwyth
Known by the locals as “Aber,” Aberystwyth is an historic university town situated on the west coast of Wales. With 7,000 students attending school in Aberystwyth each year, it’s no surprise that the town is also a popular holiday destination for young people as evidenced by the city’s more than 50 pubs. The seafront features charming Victorian architecture with a wide promenade where visitors can sit and soak up the sun.
Number 9. Caernarfon
Located in northern Wales, the city of Caernarfon is best known for its 13th-century castle, which is considered one of the best preserved fortresses in all of Wales. Although the castle was built as a royal palace as well as a military stronghold for Edward I, the inner buildings and apartments have all but disappeared.
Number 8. St. David's Cathedral
Located in the City of St. David’s in Pembrokeshire county, St. David’s Cathedral is a beautiful example of religious architecture in the Middle Ages. Construction for the existing cathedral was begun in the 1180s using purple-colored sandstone.
Number 7. Brecon Beacons National Park
Named after the pair of nearly 900-meter hills situated in the heart of the park, Brecon Beacons features a landscape of rolling hills, rocky river valleys, grasslands and water meadows. The park is dotted with archeological remnants of Wales’ long history too, including Neolithic cairns, Bronze Age standing stones, Iron Age forts and crumbling Norman castles.
Number 6. Cardiff
Located in the southeast corner of Wales, Cardiff became the country’s capital in 1955 and launched a number of projects to improve the ancient port city shortly thereafter. The 11th-century castle gives visitors a great introduction to Welsh history, and a climb to the top of the keep offers stunning views of the city and surrounding countryside.
Number 5. Conwy
An ancient town with a rich history, Conwy is located in North Wales on the Conwy Estuary near the forests of Snowdonia. The dark-stoned fortress of Conwy Castle dominates the cityscape. Built in the 1280s by Edward I, the castle’s mammoth curtain walls and eight round towers remain intact and imposing.
Number 4. Pembrokeshire Coast
Home to the only coastal national park in Wales, Pembrokeshire county encompasses the country’s southwestern peninsula and offshore islands. Visited by more than four million people each year, the national park is best known for the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, which winds for 300 km along cliff tops overlooking the craggy shoreline. The area is famed for its wildlife too. Seals bask on the rocks below and hundreds of species of birds soar overhead.
Number 3. Llandudno
Nestled between the limestone headlands of Great Orme and Little Orme in North Wales, Llandudno is the country’s largest seaside resort and arguably its most charming. Built during the 1950s by the wealthy Mostyn family, Llandudno has all the attributes that wealthy Victorians looked for in a summer resort, including a promenade stretched along the town’s northern beach with a 700-meter pier jutting into the bay at the end.
Number 2. Snowdonia
The mountains of the Snowdonia National Park in North Wales are one of the most popular places to visit in Wales. Few of Snowdonia’s peaks top 900 meters, but their steeply wooded slopes lend them a heightened sense of drama. They also provide a stunning backdrop to the park’s estuaries, lakes, rivers, slate mines and villages.
Number 1. Anglesey
Separated from mainland Wales by the mile-wide Menai Strait - spanned by the Menai Suspension Bridge the Isle of Anglesey is home to a number of quaint, small fishing villages sprinkled along its more than 100 miles of attractive coastline. best attractions in wales

Very nice! Great video and channel -- liked and subscribed!
I wonder why there is so much footage from outside the UK, not to mention Wales? I graduated from Aberystwyth, so I can tell some of your footage is not really from there.
Very good Question. 😮

Why have you included clips of both America and the Netherlands? Quite bizarre
Lol. Also England's durdle door
There is a Cardiff in California
This is what happens why you get AI to make a video😂
They even showed Cricieth when it was Caernarfon??????

Probably AI making the video.. slight human editing.. who knows. It's odd that natives are commenting that video/images are not of their area as video says.
Im from Cardiff and most of this footage is not from cardiff.
Your clips are completely misleading with abundant palm trees, USA Cars an trains and clips from who know where. Wales is nice and rugged not generally a polished American holiday destination.
Americans absolutely love wales because of the writer Dylan Thomas.
Nothing about the Gower which shows hasn't been done by anyone from Wales oh and over half the Video is of foreign places lolol duh Palm trees give it away lol if anyone takes this as Wales it don't do it justice not by half!
Don't bother
